Say you create a new partition ,and mounted it somewhere , and you want to install Suse-10 into it ,without rebooting from you running OS. so You choose Install to directory in yast2 and point it to the directory,which by default is /var/tmp/dirinstall ,I found this situation most usefull when I wanted to run Xen-3.0 my SUSE-10 box which is buggy if done directly thro' Yast2->XEN. I installed into a dircetory ,and started Xend ,and booted it as guest domain. HTH digz
